dose anyone use a tank selector? or draw from bolth tanks? and if a selector is used..what brand and style? i've found a few diffrent kinds...just can't make up my mind..lol :sly:

I do but I have no idea what it is. I believe it is factory and it only let's you draw from one tank at a time not both.

i use ball valves at each tank. i usually run with both of them open but it favors the drivers side since its the shorter run. once that side is at about 1/8 i shut it off and run the passenger side.

on my dash i have an on-off-on switch... each "on" side goes to the tank sender and then the output goes to the gauge so i can switch my fuel gauge to see both tanks level.

You can buy an electric fuel selector valve at napa that is only about 20 bucks and only take a power and ground to run.

You know I am not sure, and have never noticed. I do know they work very well and we use them at work on the roadsters and such that have dual saddle tanks under the bodies.
